Summer Programming
During the summer months, we take a break from our regular year-round role-playing sessions and instead host special seasonal programming. Below, you’ll find information on our virtual and in-person camps as well as our seasonal RPG campaigns.
Summer Camps
We offer immersive learning summer camps which create space for hands-on, experience-based lessons, curated and customized to the individuals in attendance. Whether a camper seeks to learn language, creative arts, professional development, or game design, they will find focused instruction from trained educators and chances to collaborate with their peers.
This summer, we’re also offering two special week-long campaigns featuring fan-favorite stories!
Pricing for each camp can be found at the registration link.
Digital Creators (Virtual)
June 24 - 28
9:00 AM - 3:00 PM Central
The majority of our society’s art is created in part or completely through digital means, and a multitude of trades, skills, and professions make that possible. The digital creators camp is a place for students to explore different mediums of creation or hone their skills in a particular form of production. We will focus on the creative process, project management, and technical skill building through student-guided creation. Students have the opportunity to explore almost any form of art, including: board games, web comics, 3d modeling, 2d illustration and animating, video game design, and more. We will focus on using free-to-use software but can guide and advise students on industry-standard tools as well. The duration of each day will consist of both synchronous and asynchronous work time. Students of any level are welcome, and curriculum will be developed on a group and individual level with built-in 1-on-1 time with an instructor.
Avatar: The Last Airbender (Virtual)
July 22 - 26
12:00 PM - 2:30 PM Central
Explore the world of Avatar as your very own bender! Experience a new plot, a new Avatar, and through the narrative, get the opportunity to meet iconic characters and visit classic locations. You may not be the Avatar, but you do have a part to play in their story.
This campaign will not be using D&D 5e as a rule system, but we will keep it streamlined and teach you everything you need to know.
Demigod Adventures: War of the Titans (Virtual)
July 29 - August 2
12:00 PM - 2:30 PM Central
The chains of Tartarus groan, the gates shudder, and the Titans threaten to release themselves and force their dominion over all of Greece. Their armies have beset polises, taken over temples, and begun harvesting the deific power from any Demigod they can capture, while citizens of Greece wonder when the Olympians will turn back the tide. Find out the fate of the Gods, defend the people of Greece, and try to stop the Titans' army before you become an engine for their war machines yourself. The Fates spin the final tale in this Mythical Greece campaign and wait to see the choices new Demigods will make.
This campaign will be using D&D 5e as a base rule system, but we will keep it streamlined and teach you everything you need to know.
Spanish Immersion (Virtual)
August 5 - 9
9:00 AM - 12:00 PM Central
Students will immerse themselves in a story and a language as they experience play-based learning through role-playing games. Our head Game Runner will narrate a story and communicate character actions in English, while a bilingual instructor will perform the dialogue of the characters they speak with in Spanish. Players will need to communicate in Spanish with characters of varying verbal complexity, using their own knowledge and the support of a trained educator to help them along. Some language learning experience with Spanish is recommended, though we will focus on beginner and intermediate learning.
Summer Campaigns
These are short-term virtual campaigns that take place across 8 sessions. This year, we are hosting four different weekly stories, each curating an experience that is unique from the last. Every campaign is designed with flexibility in mind, so there are no issues if players are unable to attend every session. Campaign recommendations can be made for new players!
Summer campaigns are $160 for all 8 sessions.
Enjoy $50 off for each extra campaign purchased together! No promo code required; just add multiple campaigns to your cart.
